U.S. President Donald Trump's @realdonaldtrump Twitter account was deactivated by a Twitter Inc employee who was leaving the company on Thursday and was down for 11 minutes before it was restored, the social media company said.

"We have learned that this was done by a Twitter customer-support employee who did this on the employee's last day. We are conducting a full internal review," Twitter said in a tweet.

"We are continuing to investigate and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again," the company said in an earlier tweet.

A Twitter representative declined to comment further.

That’s okay, it still happened while the person was employed by Twitter, and Trump should join in on Roger Stone’s lawsuit against Twitter.

Or instigate anti trust actions against the online monopolies of A/G/T/FBook

Maliciously confronting the POTUS is not very clever, regardless of who it is.

President Trump should just switch to Gab which would cause Twitter to lose half its stock value within a week.

Even though Twitter is LIBERAL

They are SMART enough to know not to EFF with TRUMP & his BASE

That's why calls to BAN TRUMP's account is ignored

The idiot Ken Jennings tweeted, “When Trump’s twitter account was down, I snuck into the White House and stole the china.” James Woods retorted, “Well, maybe the half that isn’t in Chappaqua.” LOL.

This could be considered a national security issue and this exiting employee risked American lives.

Then have the FBI bring this person in for questioning then let them go in a few months; if their attitude improves. If not; keep him/her there for a year or until President Trump is out of office.

The beatings will continue until morale improves...

It just sounded like a relatively low level CSR type. I would think there would be protections in place to prevent this sort of thing. Shows how much I know! lol

This shows the frailty of their internal controls. Bubble waiting to burst.

Is there anything Twitter can do to punish them if they’re already gone?
